AQA-City & Guilds produce a range of resources to assist centres in Diploma delivery. These resources include:

Principal Learning Specifications - a full outline of the assessable components of Principal Learning for each line of learning, with fully embedded Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) and signposted functional skills opportunities.
Additional and Specialist learning pathways - sample pathways have been selected for each line of learning to demonstrate how additional and specialist learning through AQA-City & Guilds extensive qualification range supports learner outcomes.
Sample assessment material - sample assessments have been developed to assist with your curriculum development and preparation.
Functional Skills specifications - these core skills (English, Mathematics, ICT) are key to ensuring the balanced learning approach of the Diploma. AQA and City & Guilds are offering Functional Skills independently to enable you to choose the qualification that best suits your learner’s needs.
Project qualification specifications - the project qualification forms part of the generic learning portion of the Diploma, providing learners with an opportunity to explore an area of interest in more depth providing contextual learning and further development of PLTS.
